Design des Territoires
Design des Territoires is a national programme in France dedicated to using design to support local and regional authorities. It operates on the principle of responding to issues specific to the environments in which it is deployed, in close collaboration with local stakeholders. Created in 2021 by the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs (Paris Sciences & Lettres) in response to a feeling that cultural policies were being abandoned, the programme is being developed under the impetus of the French Ministry of Culture, in six field schools covering six types of environment, from forestry to urban, mountainous to coastal.
